VegaSport Premium Protein Berry, 28.3 Oz.

Very nice flavour

I bought Vega Sport Protein Powder after doing some research about vegan protein powders and then purchasing a Vega Sport sample pack that included a berry, vanilla, and chocolate protein sample (among other things). I started with the vanilla thinking this would be the easiest flavor to incorporate into my routine which consists of a veggie/fruit smoothie for breakfast and sometimes a pre or post workout smoothie. I am not a big fan of the vanilla in my breakfast smoothie, but it's not too bad in the one I make with bananas and/or sweet potatoes, almond milk, and peanut butter powder. I think the vanilla leaves a bit of a noticeable after taste and seems to sweet in an artificial way (I can't think of a better way to describe it). That being said, I really like the chocolate in the aforementioned smoothie. It complements the peanut butter powder really well and I don't have the after taste issue I have with the vanilla. I was somewhat surprised to find that I love the berry flavored powder. Now I miss it when I make a smoothie without it. I think it helps smooth out the texture a bit (I mix my breakfast fruit/veggie smoothie with non-sweet green tea that I brew). I ran out and used some of the Vega Protein & Greens berry flavored powder (which was available at Target when I ran out while out of town). I definitely prefer the Vega Sport. I do always cut my portions in half so it's nice that the big container comes with a scoop that measures out a half portion. Adding some protein to my breakfast smoothie has helped me not be hungry before lunch. I'm a terrible morning eater, I'm just not usually hungry first thing, so having a liquid breakfast is very convenient.I'm also not an athlete per se. I chose the Vega Sport over some of the other Vega options because I have arthritis in my hip and the Vega Sport contains a number of ingredients that help with inflammation (turmeric and tart cherry are two of these) and the lack of animal proteins is beneficial too since I'm just not ready to go full vegetarian in my daily life but I am trying to limit things that can trigger my inflammation when I can. As part of my anti-inflammation eating, exercising, and weight maintenance program, Vega Sport has really been helping me. It tastes good and seems to work. I haven't been using the Vega Sport as much as a post-workout protein option as it is probably intended, but I do still think I'm getting some performance benefits from it (I use some other Vega Sport products as well).

Alright, so here we go... as you can tell by the images this protein is not Berry flavor. I was expecting a rich Berry colour however, it is brown. Not what I was expecting.I was pretty excited to try a protein that was not chocolate or vanilla. I wanted to switch things up and try something different. I have this protein in chocolate and it is tolerable.However, I ended up disappointed with this. I would be able to get pass the color, if it had a pleasurable taste or even came close to the taste of Berries. But it did not. It reminds me of strawberry oatmeal water. I hope that makes sense. (When you make strawberries & cream oatmeal packs and you happen to put to much liquid in the bowl. Thats the only thing I can compare the taste to.)It is also thick and grainy! The instructions recommend you add 1 scoop to 12oz of liquid. However, you will need to add 18oz of liquid or more to get it to a drinkable consistency. One scoop equals 30grams of protein. That I do like however, I have tried other brands (Ghost and Orgain) that yield less protein grams per scoop. Since they do yield less grams, I add more scoops to equal 30 to 40 grams of protein. A complete apples to apples comparison. Those brands are not thick and grainy. They mix well with 12-16oz of liquid.And to make this even worse, the product is not refundable or replaceable. For the price, that is unacceptable. The one star reflects the customer service that I received from Amazon, not the product. This deserves zero stars. I am extremely pleased with the customer service that I received! That is the only good thing that came from this order. I was greatful for a refund on a non-refundable purchase.I will try another plant based brand (Blessed, see if it really lives up to the hype) I am testing out different brands before I become loyal to one. I hope this helps someone before they make the same mistake as I did.

I love the flavor! I prefer vegan protein over the traditional whey even though I’m not a vegan. Whey protein makes me feel bloated and lethargic, this vegan protein goes down like a great tasting smoothie. It also blends very evenly without clumps. Will be buying again.

Great product but unfortunately low servings per case. Cases are getting smaller and price is staying the same or going up. Mixes great with vanilla almond milk and frozen fruit.

I have replaced X-Werks protein (chocolate) with this one (berry) specifically because of the terrific taste, no milk products and the high protein content. Also X-Werks is twice the price with their recent 31% price increase.
